Abstract: Chemical investigation of Phaeophytan marine macroalga Turbinaria ornata (family Sargassaceae) resulted in the characterization of three 2-furanone analogues, which were characterized as 6, 7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-3-(5′-methyloct-4′-en-1′-yl)-hexahydrocyclooct-1-en-[1, 2-c]furan-11-one (turbinafuranone A), 4-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-7, 8-dimethyl-6-(pentan-2′-acetate)-hexahydrocycloocta-1-en-[1, 2-c]furan-11-one (turbinafuranone B), and 6-acetoxy-8-ethyl-5-methoxy-3-(2′-methylhex-4′-en-1′-yl)-pentahydrocycloocta-1, 7-dien-[1,… read more here.

Abstract: Dipeptidyl peptidase is a crucial enzyme that regulates glucose metabolism by degrading incretins, such as glucagon-like-peptide-1, thereby reducing insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells. Consequently, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors are an important remedial approach to moderate… read more here.

Abstract: Brown marine macroalga Padina gymnospora (Phaeophyceae, Ochrophyta) produces both secondary metabolites (phlorotannins) and precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO3—aragonite) on its surface as potential defensive strategies against herbivory. Here, we have evaluated the effect of natural concentrations… read more here.
